"I was nervous about meeting my baby. Throughout my pregnancy": Serena Williams spoke about her daughter Olympia
Serena Williams was pregnant with Olympia when she won the 2017 Australian Open, her final Grand Slam title. Olympia was born in September, nearly two months before Serena and Alexis Ohanian married.
Writing for Elle in 2022, the 23-time Major champion revealed that she was nervous about meeting Olympia for the first time. She also acknowledged feeling no deep connection with her baby during pregnancy, despite loving the experience.
"I was nervous about meeting my baby. Throughout my pregnancy, I’d never felt a connection with her. While I loved being pregnant, I didn’t have that amazing Oh my God, this is my baby moment, ever. It’s something people don’t usually talk about, because we’re supposed to be in love from the first second," she said.
She added that she saw herself as a protective lioness but lacked an emotional bond with Olympia during pregnancy.
"Yes, I was a lioness who would protect her baby at any cost, but I wasn’t gushing over her. I kept waiting to feel like I knew her during pregnancy, but the feeling never came. Some of my mom friends told me they didn’t feel the connection in the womb either, which made me feel better, but still, I longed for it," she added.
Despite her busy entrepreneurial pursuits, Serena Williams makes plenty of time for her daughters and often shares those cherished moments online.
